Kodak will unveil its first smartphone in a range of Android mobile devices aimed at photography enthusiasts at the CES 2015.

Kodak is planning to launch a new Android smartphone next month at the CES 2015. The photography-focused handset will be a part of the company’s new lineup of mobile products.

Kodak's new smartphone has been designed in partnership with manufacturer Bullit Group and promises a high-end experience that’s easy to use. The company says that the smartphone will come with pre-installed software for clicking, sorting and printing images, along with a unique user interface. The company stated in a press release that the smartphone will offer “the latest Android OS and features found on high-end smartphones”, suggesting that a flagship Lollipop handset could also be on the cards. However, the company has not disclosed which kind of camera resolution the device will have.

Apart from the photography focused smartphone set to launch at the CES 2015, Kodak has announced that it will launch more smartphones, including a 4G handset, a tablet as well as a connected camera later in the year.

“Kodak is one of the world’s most recognizable brands. It is trusted by consumers as a marque of quality and innovation,” said Bullitt Mobile CEO Oliver Schulte. “We’ve taken that heritage and used it to inspire a range of beautifully designed devices that will let users take great pictures and edit, share, store and print them in an instant.”

Eileen Murphy, VP Brand Licensing, Kodak stated that the company is excited to be entering the mobile handset market with the Bullitt Group. "We are impressed with Bullitt Group's commitment to delivering a portfolio of products that embrace the quality and innovation that our brand is known for around the world."
